• 0:22
  Speaker 1: our daily stress, our lifestyle choices, and our future security,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: yet is rarely taught with emotional clarity, the psychology of money.

  Speaker 1: When people think about financial success, they usually assume that

  Speaker 1: how smart you are and everything to do with how

  Speaker 1: you behave. And behavior is difficult to teach, even to

  Speaker 1: narrative about money. This narrative was forged during our childhood
